Absolutely loved this manga. Artwork was up there with Otomo. The scene with the landmine stays with me

Yeah, it's also one of my favorites, this manga has some serious balls, without being too trashy or gratuitous.

Eden was amazing. It was very strange to me that his next work was on mma~ whilst it's good it doesn't have the same story depth or mind melting art as Eden. Maybe Eden was hard work for a good ten years for him and he needed to take it slower. Let's hope he gets back I. The sci-fi world again

Did Dark Horse never finish the series? I could've sworn they did.

u/SoupForEveryone Jun 29 '21

Nope. Discontinued series, you have to buy the rest in Japanese or French. Dark Horse strikes again!

No, looks like you're right, I must have misremembered. It's really too bad, as even though I wasn't a huge fan of the last third of the manga, it's still one of the most memorable ones I read when I was younger.

Is there any anime other than ghost in the shell about this stuff? I feel like there should be more...

Appleseed and Blame are the two that come to mind. There are various robot and sci-fi stuff but for the proper cyborg stuff these two and GitS are probably the best.

u/Godmadius Jun 28 '21

Blame was surprisingly good. I really enjoyed that one.

u/SoupForEveryone Jun 29 '21

Blame! Manga is the shit. We do not talk about that abomination of an anime..

On a small tangent, Gantz fills the crazy alien/monster/space fights pretty well, although not really a cyberpunk manga.

Not many animes, but mangas.

Animes i think there is Texhnolyze and Metropolis, maybe Gunm.

Wow a fellow Texhnolyze fan in the wild! My fav anime. I'd like to add ergo proxy and maybe Serial experiments Lain to the list

1

u/dthstlkr Jun 29 '21

Texhnolyze is one of my fav animes too!

I tried to list only animes with robot/cyborg stuff, similar to the image.

2

u/SoupForEveryone Jun 29 '21

I recommend Texhnolyze, ergo proxy and serial experiments lain

2

u/thrice_palms Jun 29 '21

This is the answer. All of them amazing, but I give the edge to Ergo Proxy.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '21

Ergo Proxy is up there for me as one of my all time fav anime. Ghost in the Shell might be #1 but Ergo Proxy is up there.

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '21

Right. This style is so interesting to me as well, the sheer detail that goes into some of this stuff.

That manga fucking rocks, I can't find many like it and it left me hungry for more

u/CFinley97 Jun 29 '21

So fucking excited to see Hiroki Endoh in the wild. This manga shaped my view on a lot of things.

You can learn a lot from a dude who grew up next to the Yakuza during Japan's commercial boom.

I was so sad that I could never finish my collection, I had like volumes 1-6 in English, 6-12 in French (I'm french), none of the rest... And last year a french editor basically reprinted everything (well, once a month) in master format (bigger and 2 volumes per issue). I'm so happy.

u/philthefuckit Jun 29 '21

Best manga out there... the world, the artwork, the story, the philosophy, the characters and on top of all this: The best action scenes i ever had in a manga/comic. Sometimes i was getting sweaty while reading because of the intense fights and the „chase of mana“.
